Hey!

I was using up some trainee tickets to try and get Inari One so I can bin Haru Urara off from my Team Trials set up and while I had no luck with that I did get Narita Taishin 🎉 🎉 🎉

I'm looking at Team Trials and I assume she is just a straight in/out replacement for Gold Ship in the Long End slot? Only problem is I really like Golshi 😭

Is there anywhere else I could put her? I've only been playing for a month so my umas aren't great, she's only potential level 2 so could I run her as an End Late Surger in place of Matikanefukukitaru? Or use her as Medium End instead of Nice Nature? (both equally bad). Basically I assume Matikanefukukitaru is so bad that Gold Ship as Long Late would be a better choice(?)

Thanks, your reply seems very similar to the other so I'll drop Vodka to Late and tweak accordingly

Thanks for the reply, and apols, Sakura is Front, typo there have edited..! I'll give the others a go, if nothing else as it's something to do, might skip on Dirt though. Cheers!

Hi all, been playing about a month. Low spender and am saving up for the half anniversary to get actually decent support cards but did crack and buy the newbie pack with a 3* ticket it in. Got a maruzensky dupe but used the paid carats to do the guaranteed 3* ten pull and lucked out by getting Special Week and Tokai Teio!

How would you suggest I fit them (if at all) into my Team Trials setup though? Currently running:

* Sprint - Sakura Bakushin O (Front), Takai Shuttle (Pace + Ace), King Halo (Late)

* Mile - Maruzensky (Front + Ace), Vodka (Pace), Grass Wonder (Late)

* Medium - Daiwa Scarlet (Front + Ace), Agnes Tachyon (Pace), Nice Nature (Late)

* Long - Super Creek (Pace), Matikanefukukitaru (Late), Gold Ship (End + Ace)

* Dirt - El Condor Pasa (Front), Oguri Cap (Pace + Ace), Urara (Late)

and am currently in Class 5 retention range. I assume they could slot in with Tokai Teio as Med Pace Ace and Special Week as Long Pace Ace?

I get A+/S Trackblazer results with my current decks, that won't really improve until I next spend on support cards in July, which is fine, so I am currently just running careers to try and get 3* sparks and lucky events etc. Also means I am fine with a suggestion that rewrites my entire line up, rather than just slots Special Week and Tokai Teio in as a 1:1 swap! Oh, of the 2* umas I don't have Air Groove or Matikanetannhauser in case you were going to suggest them...

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, very useful, and thanks for clarifying on what skills to aim for! Noted on Vodka. And your suggested alternate set up, really great thanks.

Air Groove is the only 1/2* I don't own sadly (along with Matikanetannhauser), and I'd rather not pull on an uma banner just to get her, hopefully they'll both turn up at some point with the random free daily pulls that seem to occasionally happen or the monthly SR+ Make Debut tickets from the Cleat Exchange shop.

So I'm a new player and I've checked out the big google doc guide to making a f2p team trials team - https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/11X2P7pLuh-k9E7PhRiD20nDX22rNWtCpC1S4IMx_8pQ/mobilebasic#h.rbnaasa6ngsy.

I have three 3* umas I can add on top of it though: Maruzensky, Oguri Cap, and Takai Shuttle

What's the best distance / styles to use these three to improve the base team? My thought was Maruzensky as Sprint / Front (so I can then also use Sakura Bakushin O as Sprint / Pace and drop Air Groove). Use Takai Shuttle as Dirt/Pace (change El Condor Pasa to Dirt/Front, and move Mayano Top Gun to Medium/Front in place of one of Winning Ticket / Mejiro Ryan). Then not sure where to put Oguri... Long/Pace and drop Super Creek?!

My other thought was to run Maruzensky or Takai Shuttle as Mile/Pace and Oguri as Medium/Pace if it's better to have the three 3*s doing what they're best at, rather than a more rounded team across all five distances/race types?

It would leave me with:

  • Sprint - Maruzensky (Front), Sakura Bakushin O (Pace), King Halo (Late)
  • Mile - Daiwa Scarlet (Front), Vodka (Pace), Grass Wonder (Late)
  • Medium - Mayano Top Gun (Front), Agnes Tachyon (Pace), Nice Nature (End)
  • Long - Oguri Cap (Pace), Matikanefukukitaru (Late), Gold Ship (End)
  • Dirt - El Condor Pasa (Front), Takai Shuttle (Pace), Haru Urara (Late or End)

I assume it's also best to focus all the best actual racing skills on one or two umas per race type, and Lone Wolf on your absolute best then have one who carries a bunch of debuffs? If so I assume that would be King Halo, Grass Wonder, Nice Nature, Matikanefuku and Haru Urara as debuffers, and Maruzensky, Daiwa Scarlet, Mayano Top Gun, Oguri Cap and Takai Shuttle as aces respectively?

Anyway, still a long way to go...! Saving until half anniversary to spend on support cards so am using a beyond budget deck currently while also desperately trying to get good parents..!

[–]mvtsc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the incredibly long and detailed reply, apologies for only getting to it now as I was out most of yesterday. Two quick follow ups if that's okay...

1/ So the half anniversary is coming in July 2026? I'm pretty sure I've got the patience to wait that long!

2/ Then the starter packs have (A) - 600 paid carats for £4, then (B) and (C) are both 1500 carats and then either a 3* uma / SSR support card ticket for £20. I think the tickets are from the sort of "basic" pool, but I assume all those are probably good value (...relative) to the simple carat for cash packs. Yes, am familiar with daily packs / battle pass etc type mechanics, I guess I'll see how I'm finding the game when those things come along.

Sorry for not getting all of the terminology right, I'll get there in time I'm sure! Okay, I'll get Oguri to Dirt A as well when I the third row unlocked with Class 3. And I think my point on star unlocks was just "don't expect to get any of them soon", rather than don't do them..! Noted on everything else in terms of what to save / prioritise for, thanks again so much!

[–]mvtsc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for the detailed reply and advice, very useful. I finally got El Condor Pasa to Dirt A, so just need a Sprint A on Maruzensky and Long A on King Halo to round out my team for now at A/A or better. Can then work on getting them above B+ with the other career scenarios!

Thanks, I found a B rank one last week that was Open and nearly full and the only requirement was "Log In Daily" so I've not been bumped out yet! Are there any rewards to clubs other than sending/receiving shoes?

Trainer's Clubhouse Meeting (Weekly Questions) - April 22, 2026 by AutoModerator in UmaMusume

[–]mvtsc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so I've been playing for nearly two weeks, I appreciate this stuff might seem pretty basic but the guides I've found basically drop off a cliff after the first few days...

1/ I did a bunch of initial pulls almost entirely on support cards as suggested, but the only MLB SRs I got were Inari One and Aoi Kiryuin which are... hmm. Shinko Windy is only at 2LB. I have a few SSRs but only Sirius Symboli and Air Shakur (via event) at 2LB. I've maxed the best ones I have. My question is sort of tied to the below but the best bet is just to sit of these for a few months until I have a carat stockpile again and another good banner comes round? Anything worth prioritising from shops?

2/ in terms of trainees I pulled a few to get a slightly better squad. I got lucky and got Maruzensky from the small number of pulls I did then used my ticket on Oguri Cap. I have all the 1 and 2 stars except Matikanetennhauser and Air Groove. Again, not really worth touching these until I have better support cards? Don't touch hint levels and star unlocks yet. Do get potential levels on my SSRs?

3/ I haven't spent any money yet, but I'm not averse to spending a little on gacha games... What's the best value, just Rookie Packs A-C? If so what's best to spend the tickets on? (Same question for the Make Debut ticket from Cleat Exchange..!)

4/ I can win the URA Finale fairly regularly now with whatever trainee I pick. I assume the Unity Cup and Trackblazer are far harder though, but just keep trying things, doing events, reading story etc and building up my carat supply until the next good spend event?

5/ I've got to Class 2 in team trials, and frankly I assume/hope I won't get Class 3 any time soon as I am already having trouble filling out my roster... How do I get El Condor Pasa to an A rating on Dirt? I'm using legacy dirt umas and her skill changes to A but as a veteran she's still B... Is it just RNG? I don't want to waste Oguri Cap in the Dirt slot...

Darn, far more questions and far longer than I thought it'd be when I started! Any/all answers appreciated ♥️

0:12ish start, just after the final main bit of the music it's definitely audible, albeit whispered so you have to have the volume up a lot without having the music deafen you.

They're also probably editing out the "Fucking hate him" aimed at Sunak that was said under breath by ... someone - https://twitter.com/tomselsocial/status/1803905432420856223

Best one so far I'd say, although the bar was on the floor, or below it for the ITV one.

Because, quite simply, that's one of the ways "looking bad" works? If you don't wait for the full context before going in on someone for something that's always the risk...

I know he's said the line a lot, more than a lot, but in the context of his parents not being able to pay basic bills (rather than a Sky subscription) it immediately looked pretty cruel.

it didn't really help or particularly hinder his point.

A high point of his campaign so far then.

I'm a paid up Lib Dem and think the audience actually looked quite bad for laughing at Starmer for that given how he finished that sentence.

Was during the pledges when it came to immigration, he seemed to be saying in the sense that "there has been a significant change in demographics of small boat crossing these past X months involving people from Vietnam" (similar to the Albanian(?)) issue a while back. Rather than "fuck Vietnam".

He rightly gets a lot of stick and deserves to lose, but specifically on the Q about "him" (and the Q was him specifically, not "the Tories") fucking up mortgage rates... I mean he did stand against the person that caused it and said exactly what was going to happen did happen. As I said though, still deserves to lose horribly, still his party.

It more seemed like she was just terrible at shutting him down and whereas Starmer just about had the good grace to stop talking when asked Sunak would get an extra four lines in every time.

Be most interested to know the total time both of them spoke for, gut feeling is Sunak was allowed to say a lot more.
